1) Keep A List Whenever you see somewhere interesting, remember to take out your phone and write it on your "awesome locations" list. If you don't have that list, then I suggest making one now. Trust me on this one. Next time you have a shoot and the model asks "where should we go?" you'll have that life saving list on hand. 2) Scout the Damn Location This is basically an overall time saver for everyone. Go there sometime before the shoot and find the angles you want to take and the alternative locations around the area if it doesn't pan out. Also, find yourself a coffee place close by just in case. Trust. 3) Coordinate the Outfit Close your eyes and imagine a nice beach, ocean, and birds chirping above. Then all of a sudden you see a man in a giant coat, a beanie, thick snow pants, and a pair of snow shoes. Unless you're going for a creative, ironic shoot, match the outfit with the location you're going to. Simplify it to key words. Badass location = badass outfit. Peaceful location = peaceful outfit. Seems pretty simple, but sometimes you need to remind yourself on how the outfits will fit in the location you choose. As always, here's an amazing song you brighten your day!
